Single-nucleotide polymorphisms, mapping and association analysis of 1-FFT-A1 gene in wheat

Fructans are major nonstructural carbohydrates in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Fructan 1-fructosyltransferase (1-FFT) is the key enzyme in fructan biosynthesis. In the present study, 96 sequence variants were detected in the 1-FFT-A1 gene among 26 wheat accessions including UR208, and 15 of them result in amino acid substitutions, forming four haplotypes. Two markers M39 and M2164 were developed based on the InDel21-39 and SNP-2164...
